Everlasting Love! As we strolled into Perth's iconic bell tower, we saw thousands of lockets attached to chains circling the monument. These lockets are inscribed with names that symbolize a love that will last forever. Of course, we had to have a locket attached! A tour guide took us up to the Bell Tower for instruction on bell ringing. Each of us had "a go at it." The tower includes 14th century bells that were a from St.-Martin-In-the-Fields (the only royal bells to have left England) and were a gift to the people of Australia for their bicentennial in 1988.
We hopped a ferry which deposited us in Fremantle, the port city that hosted the Americas Cup in 1987. At 1;00 PM the Timing Cannon shot off over the harbor. After a fabulous lunch in Ciccerello's, we toured the Shipwreck Museum.
That evening the Perth Friendship Force treated us to a wonderful Welcome Dinner with homemade lasagnas and salads prepared by their members. A fabulous time was had by all.
